Sam Webster, PhD, M.Div., Mage, has taught magick publicly since 1984. He graduated from Starr King School for the Ministry at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley in 1993. He then earned his doctorate at the University of Bristol, UK, in 2015, studying Pagan history under Prof. Ronald Hutton.

Sam is an Adept of the Golden Dawn, a cofounder of the Chthonic-Ouranian Templar order, and an initiate of Wiccan, Druidic, Buddhist, Hindu, and Masonic traditions. His work has been published in journals such as Green Egg, Gnosis, and Pangaia, and he is the author of the book Tantric Thelema.

In 2001, he founded the Open Source Order of the Golden Dawn, and in 2013 he founded the Pantheon Foundation. Currently, Sam serves the Pagan community as a priest of Hermes and as the co-founder of Concrescent Press. 

His venture Concrescent Press is dedicated to the mission of preserving the traditions of the Pagan Elders and creating a safe space for those drawn to explore these ancient rituals.
